Gossamer Wings

Debris is falling
At a slower than wanted pace
Clinging to my newly forming wings
Not ready to let go
Keeping the thread
To old ways alive
A resort to comfort
In times of insecurity
Brought on by the elixir
That kills inhibition
The choice to evolve
To new colors
Cracked the cocoon
Only broken by the committment of action
Or the abstinence thereof
Past ways fall away
Piece by piece
Revealing the expansion
Of the rainbow
Ready to connect this soul
To the next world
In the journey of discovery
Of the light
That brightens with each
Metamorphesis
Not to be rushed
For gossamer wings
Tear at the slightest
Unnecessary movement
That strays from the process
Of evolution
The time it takes to grow
Savoured
As potential decisions
Compared to those of past
Are weighed
And with care
Not found wanting
As higher levels of clarity
Are reached
On the currents
Of the world's breath
And whisper promises
Of the great
That is to come
As what was and is learned
Turns into what is known
And lived
Second in nature
As much as the breaths
Taken every day
With the coming greatness
Soon to be achieved
Astonish not
At the effect
Just one beat
Of these rainbow wings
On the world.

Your Silence...

Your silence speaks volumes
Your mouth wont allow
Your stance reveals the disgust
Your words wont tell.

The awkwardness between us
Reveals a chemistry failed
Destroyed by a fault
That cannot be availed?

I crossed the line
In more ways than one
And I'm ashamed to admit
That my work cannot be undone.

To take back those words
I'd give everything in my power
To make things with you right
I'd travel back in time
Turning back the clock
Until everything's a dime.

Know that I am here
For when you are ready
To give sound to your silence
No matter how heavy.

Something More

See me as something more
Than you want me to be
More than the facade
You desire.

Look into my eyes
To the soul within
To the part of me
That guards my heart.

Seek not to own or conquer
But merely to compliment and uplift
See me for who I am
And let me discover
Who I can be with you.

For my love is
What I have to give
My knowledge
What I have to share.

Realize...
That without me
There is a you
And without you there is a me.

But take my hand gently
Treat my heart with care
For no matter what I say
I do want you there.
